So against my better judgment (ability to travel easily, not clean up poo for the next 15 years, etc.), the wife and I are considering a dog. Frontrunner breeds are:
-shiba inu
-retired greyhound
We both grew up with cats, and I like those traits in these dogs: mellow. minimal barking. independent. don't lick your face. etc.
The problem with both of these, as far as I can tell, is that a) they are not recommended for any off-leash activity, and b) they aren't trail dogs. If I'm going to go through the hassle of owning a dog, I kinda want one that can follow me on ski tours and mtb rides. So, just curious if the collective knows of any good breeds that would fit the above criteria, as well as be able to tackle trails?
